St Cath's

well we got back from St Cath's over a week ago and I have been flat out since then sewing a new Gambeson for my Lord to use at Yule... but then it rained on the day of Yule so... no fighting and no using the new Gambeson!! I had to do this because at St Cath's Baxton overheated.... dangerously.... and was sent off the feild. I know he is a big guy , but I think the old gambeson was largely ay Fault, I think the new one will be better, but we are also looking at a totally cotton/linen one as well.

The AMAZING news is... at St Cath's I was awarded an Order of the Lily!!! I am so chuffed!! Baxton was given the Kings Sheild... but more about that on the family page!!

Also the pouch I made for the B&B challenge was given to the King and Queen as largesse. I saw the Queen wearing it on Sunday and comented on it. She said she loves this style pouch and wishes she could keep it, so I offered to make her one of her own. She wants one in her colours so when I got home I looked up her device and got very inspired... I will post a photo when I have finished. Baxton suggested that I also make one for the King. Once again... I was inspired by his device and I am working on one for himas well.

I have decided that when making pouches for individuals I will be guided by their device and my artistic interpretation, unless they specifically want something else.

signing off for today...
